Chipot-Vuillaume, Paris 1896
About the instrument:
A French violin labelled internally ‘CHIPOT-VUILLAUME Gendre de J. – B. VUILLAUME A PARIS 1896’. Chipot-Vuillaume was born in Mirecourt, 1847. He deceived the public by linking his name to his father-in-law’s: Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume – a Parisian cobbler unrelated to the violin maker.
He was employed and made many instruments for Collin-Mezin before establishing his own business and varnishing instruments in the style of Derazey and Vuillaume.
The violin back, length 359mm, is in two pieces of quarter-sawn maple with a strong curl of broad width; the ribs, scroll and neck of similar wood. The front is of medium grain spruce and the varnish of a red-brown colour.
